Uncle Markie out and about.

On this day of the Washington State caucuses — I find myself disenfranchised as an upwardly mobile white male. My legal residence is on Lopez Island in the lovely San Juan’s where I live on land with a charming ex-Episcopal Church (not bad for someone raised Unitarian). Much of my time I’m on the road [...]
Let’s start out with the review of yesterday’s events. Dinner in Tacoma at an Argentine restaurant – Azadoon the up and coming 6th Avenue strip. Food: A-. I had the ceviche which was a lovely blend of their fresh fish and pico de gallo, served with plantain chips. To round out the meal I had [...]
As we go into this election season — I am reminded of the phrase from another election, “It’s the economy, stupid!” With this in mind, today we cancel one wine shipment (Ridge) and cutting the other (Bonny Doon) down to their lowest level. I’d cancel it as well, but as DEWN member #174 I’m loath [...]
Before I get to the really, really late birthday dinner, I have news from the island. The potting shed now has hot and cold running water — the only joint that leaked when we charged up the system was a compression fitting on the water heater — and that had a shut-off value so it [...]
Well, the major chore for today is heading to the church with MoonSong to work on the gardening shed which requires moving the water meter (good thing it’s a private system!) so we can get the plumbing into the new gardening shed (and complete with drain as well!). I’ll update everyone later with our progress. [...]
And here we are again in the automotive world with my early Christmas Wish List — but Valentine’s Day would be even better (though, if you ordered it on Valentine’s Day, it might arrive by Christmas). 2008 Dodge Sprinter. $53,140 MSRP according to the Dodge website with a ton of options. Add another couple of [...]
Having a few moments of spare time between baking bread for tonight’s dinner at Gnarlene’s place and running errands, I’ve had time to sit back and think about that trip to the Copper Canyon last week. It already seems like such a long time ago. Today I unearthed the group photo from the trip. Joyce [...]
Nothing like a little cross-selling. Here are the latest ads that I’ve placed on CraigsList to sell off chunks of my life…. Need a church? http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/rfs/560935345.html Need an RV named Bob? http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/rvs/560948885.html Had a great time at the art opening last night, but the place was packed, hot, and stuffy. Really like the stuff that [...]
Off this afternoon to Olympia for dinner for former City Council Member Pavola and then off to the Artisan’s Cafe for an art opening followed by a little live music. And for those following the buzz, I submitted my resume this morning. I think it would be a great combination, and they are on this [...]
